It's my favorite time of the year. Fall is right around the corner. And with new seasons come
new styles, new wardrobes. But you want to be able to find those things at an affordable price.
Discounted the right way, but not getting rid of quality. That's where Quince comes in.
Quince focuses on high-quality wardrobe staples made with premium materials like 100% Mongolian
cashmere, organic cotton and wool. The styles are timeless, versatile, and designed to become
that dependable piece that you reach for every single day.
especially as we go into the fall season, the jeans, the long sleeve shirts, everything, the sweaters,
it's the place to be. Now, here's the thing that they do. Everything at Quince is priced 50 to 80%
less than similar brands because they work directly with ethical factories and they cut out the
middleman. So you're paying for high quality, not brand markup. When I got ready for Europe,
I'd say 70% of my wardrobe was from Quince. So the other thing, too, is not just clothing. They have
all different essentials like hotel quality, betting, bath to kitchen, and more. But right now,
we got a deal. Find your next fall favorites at Quince. Download the Quince app for an app exclusive

trading secrets.
another episode of Trading Secrets. It's 30 minute Thursday. David, you and I are back, baby. It was a solo mission episode. Last week, it was only me. If you haven't listened to it, go give it a listen. But David, it is so good to have you back in the hot seat. We're sitting here live. 11 p.m. something. Eastern Standard Time. 11.11. 11. 11. Make a wish. I just dropped down from Los Cabos, Mexico. Where are you coming in from right now?
I'm coming in from my basement.
We just had the craziest storm of all time.
Power was out for the last four hours.
Given play-by-play updates.
Actually crazy, probably the only time my phone's ever been charged at 7 p.m. at 80% in my life.
So I actually was able to have my phone and give you updates.
I was ready to throw in the towel 10.57 p.m.
Power came on, ran downstairs.
Here we are.
You have backup charges?
Do you have any charging portals or anything like that?
No, absolutely not.
No, zero.
You did not listen to our disaster release.
episode, did you?
Have you taken pictures of every single room?
Well, I did check during the storm that my basement wasn't flooded and my sub pump.
I just got a new sub pump, so that was good.
I didn't even know it, Ashley.
What is a subpup run you these days?
I wish I could tell you.
I wish I could tell you.
But it was a gift for my father.
Okay, okay.
That's cool.
He checked it out one day and said, I'm going to replace this.
So thank you, Mr. Spletta.
But I just learned that Ashley's got.
But she's, we're ready, Jay.
We are ready for every natural disaster once this storm came in.
She brought out more gadgets, more lights, more flashlights, more apparatus than I even knew existed.
So our house was lit up like a Christmas tree inside the whole time, which is good because having two kids pre-bath time, bedtime, bedtime routine, no power.
Those came in handy.
So we're here.
I'm, I wasn't letting Mother Nature.
She's ready to go.
Mother Nature didn't take you.
out, a flight didn't take me out?
What was I going to get to? Oh, your sub pub, my issue.
I just bought a very expensive home.
And it's brand new.
And I went into the crawl space the other day.
I'm like, it's starting to smell a little mildewy down here.
I test the humidity.
It's 85%.
85%.
So now I don't get back home until end of September or, I don't know, yeah, late September.
And I'm going to have to deal with that.
So it's just, you know what, man?
If it ain't something, it's something.
Isn't that the truth?
But I wasn't going to miss two weeks in a row.
Had a little staff party to the 999 challenge, as you mentioned.
It was hilarious.
But we're back.
We're here.
We're great episode.
A lot of stuff going on in the world, too, that I'm sure we're going to touch on.
I mean, there is.
So we have U.S.
Open prize pool money we got to talk about.
We have fake, fake fraudulent people out there.
Oh, big time.
Acting as athletes, then swiping on dating gaps.
and getting women to invest in their,
with fake financial advisors.
We got the Lindsay Clancy case.
We got dancing with the stars out.
We got Taylor Swift and Travis Kelsey's dog.
Wendy now.
They got,
they got Wendy.
I mean,
we got a lot of action.
We got to talk.
Burning man.
What the fuck is,
I still tell us.
What is Burning Man?
Listen.
There's nothing about Burning Man.
I think I'm meant to.
I'm really proud of my algorithm for knowing that I just don't need to be pissed off these days.
And so it's keeping Burning Man off my algorithm.
The only thing that I'm seeing is Bethany Frankel's doing a full-blown video live blogging of vlogging of it on TikTok, which is great and it's consumable.
And people are saying because she's doing that, Burning Man's dead.
Listen, I think Burning Man is something that I will never.
They're saying because Bethany Frankel is blogging, Burning Man's Dad.
I don't get it.
It's just like it's gotten to the wrong crowd.
It's gotten to mainstream.
That's not what the experience is about.
It's about going there and being part of this utopia, this city, this self-sufficiency,
this blend of art and music and community and orgies and all those things.
And it's not, it's supposed to stay there.
It's not really supposed to be, you know, live documented.
It's supposed to be being in the moment in that experience.
And it's just one of those things where,
I will never fully understand it.
I actually think it's probably
if you and I were there,
I think we would look at each other and be like,
this is crazier, probably cooler,
probably not able to comprehend
where the fuck we actually are.
But I'm good on that.
It is a music festival, correct?
No, absolutely not.
Okay.
It is a, I believe people would term it as a,
as an art.
An art.
It's like a city.
It's, it's fucking
massive. And it's a city.
And it's all self-sufficient. And there's like rules, bro.
Like, I haven't seen one thing on Burning Man on my algorithm. Isn't that crazy how
algorithms work? It is crazy. But it's like a city. Bethany Frankel got like torched online
because she was going to wear a sequence dress. And I guess a rule for Burning Man is like you
moop. Like it's called moop or you can't wear or bring anything that could be like left
in the city. So like sequent dresses like you can have a sequent that falls off. And like you've
left it there and everything you bring you're supposed to take with you so it doesn't like disrupt
the land and the ethos and the city. So anyways, that's more than enough time on burning.
Yeah, we're not spending any more time. Listen, listen, I need you to finish. But before you finish,
people are probably just sitting there like, what in the shit are we talking about? I just want to
give people a quick chat GPT breakdown. It's a nine-day event in Black Rock Desert. 70,000 people
build temporary city. Then they take it down and leave no trace. It runs the week leading into Labor Day.
So this year's just wrap.
Attendees will build everything.
Installations, camps, vehicle structures.
There's no commercial infrastructure.
No money changes hands except for coffee and ice.
It runs on gifting rather than buying or bartering.
The climax is burning a large wooden something called the man, the statue, followed by burning structure called the temple, which is where people leave memorials for people they've lost.
Conditions are harsh.
There's dust storms, extreme heat, cold and night.
You bring your water and food and it's really built on culture.
Interesting.
Okay.
It actually sounds really interesting.
And when you look at some of the art and some of the things that are built,
you can't even fucking imagine the things that people obviously dedicate their lives to building
and bringing into this event in terms of like the art and the things that are there.
It's just so not for me.
Like it couldn't be less for me ever.
I live in the suburbs in Rochester, New York with two young kids and I'm a hockey coach.
Maybe that's why you're so intrigued by it.
I'm intrigued at a lot of things that I'm probably not me,
but this one I just don't want to ever be a part of.
And I'm okay not understanding it.
And I hand up here.
Should we go?
I respect the people because I actually think the people that go and experience it.
It's probably the coolest thing in their lives.
I would 100% go with you,
but I also don't think that I would survive.
What do you mean?
You wouldn't survive?
Just like the...
We're going to spend all 30 minutes Thursday talking about the fucking burning, man.
And there's no way.
I'm calling it right now.
I'm saying this.
All right, guys, go give us five stars.
I just need to do a poll or email us.
By the way, quick, quick ADHD moment.
Yeah.
Thank you for all these emails.
I can't tell you how many emails we've gotten.
Dave, I don't only have shared a couple with you, but the people that are writing in trading
secrets at jastardic.com, letting us know, like, what they love about the show.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Also, give us five stars and let us know.
Did you know what Burning Man was before we just did this?
I can't believe we're spending eight minutes on.
Anything else before?
Well, last question you got to answer.
Why do you think you wouldn't survive?
No, it's just like the line to get in as you sit there.
It takes hours.
People run out of gas just waiting in the line because it's such like a strict security protocol.
You can't tell.
I don't know.
I just don't think I would do it.
People wearing the goggles for the dust mass.
If it does rain, which it has rain, everything turns in mud.
You can't walk around.
people are up 24 hours a day, tons of drugs, tons of things.
It's just too much.
I just don't think I don't think I can do it.
I think I break down.
Okay.
I think that's a good breakdown.
Before we go to Mary Hollander, the episode this week, I do want to just bring up the
U.S. Open because I was just there.
It was amazing.
Had a nice little honeydews.
Can't believe it.
They sold $17 million worth of those last year, about $738,000.
The price is consistent at $23,000, where typically it's been increasing over 60% since inception.
It started in 2014, and it's,
increased over 60% in price point, which is totally outpaced inflation.
But one of the things they're saying this year is a lot of the, it's coming from an actual tap.
So people are saying, oh, they probably decrease the amount of ACCA to keep the price the same.
I still can't believe those things.
But what's crazy is the total prize money available to players.
To all players, both men and women, take the total prize money.
How much you think of that is available in this tournament, David?
I'm going to say total prize pool, men and women combined.
I'm going to say it's like a 14 million.
It is actually 108 million, which is 20% more than the 2025 tournament.
Pretty freaking crazy.
That's hot.
Of the U.S. Prize Fund, 2 million goes towards player support program after calls from players,
athletes, welfare across Grand Slams.
Here's the prize money breakdown.
The men's winner gets 5.5 million.
Runner up gets 2.8.
Semi final exit, 1.5.
Quarter final exit, 780K.
Okay.
Round 16 exit, 480,000.
Round 32, exit, $290,000.
round of 64 exit 190,000, round of 128 exit 140,000.
Let's go to men's and women's double.
Winner gets a million.
Runner up gets 500,000.
Let's go to mixed doubles.
Winner up gets a million.
Runner up gets 500,000.
And the cool thing about this is men and women, same price pool for both.
And yeah, that's a little breakdown up.
That's more than I thought.
The honey do I actually am not, I think $23.
Deuce, honey deuce.
Honey deuce, sorry, call me crazy.
the honey deuce, I think that's a, that's a normal price. Call me crazy. You're getting a gray goose,
high premium vodka. You're in New York City where a cocktail anywhere you go is in the double
digits and you're at an exclusive sporting event. So if I'm paying $14 for a tallboy beer at a
Rochester Red Wings AAA baseball game, I'll pay $23 for a honey deuce. You also get the cup too.
The cup has every single win on there, which is kind of cool.
That's unbelievable. What are we talking about?
I'm in. I'm in.
He's it. All right. Let's go to Mary Hollander episode. The Curious Canadian is with us. We are 11 minutes in. Wow. A lot of action here just touched on from Los Cabos. We are talking all things. David. Mary Hollander episode. Obviously, there's a lot of action going on with this family. They're on season two. Sarah Jane is now on Dance with the Stars. Brooks Nader, of course, was on Dance with Stars and is a famous supermodel. She was with Gleb. She was with Gleb.
Glebs not on dancing with the stars, a lot of drama there.
So much to unpack in Trading Secrets 30 Minute Thursday this week.
We might have to fucking go bi-weekly on these.
I know.
This is great.
Listen, I was pretty much sleeping at 1045 thinking the power is no shot that it's going to come on.
And here I am wired for sound.
Mary Holland Nader, let me tell you this, Jay.
She is almost the epitome of some of the answers that we asked for in all.
all the emails from our viewers because she, yes, she is on a very popular reality TV show.
But she, her identity is nothing to do with that.
She doesn't really particularly care for the TV aspect.
She wanted to talk business pre-show, business is her life.
I loved when at the end when you say, where can everyone find you?
And she says, I don't care.
I don't want them to find me.
I want them to find my finance app.
And I thought that that was really, really cool.
She had some really, really interesting takes on some things.
and perspectives.
I thought it was a fantastic episode.
I thought your guys' chemistry was amazing.
And both of you guys were so relatable in your experience
and your passion and your energy
and how you've gotten to where you got to
and what you guys are involved in today.
I really, really thought it was a great episode.
Oh, I appreciate it.
That's good.
You never know it, David.
He throws curveballs at us.
Was there anything you're curious about
or that you took away from this one?
Yeah, that whole...
Listen, you'd be proud of me.
AI, I'm starting to use it.
more, more than just like you replacing my Google with it. I'm actually using it to create
organizational documents, performance reviews. I'm really playing with it, tailoring with it.
I like it. I don't like that she said in Claude Co-work, you give that thing access to your
Gmail sheets and documents and it could do tasks, request for you. Isn't that a little insane?
Oh, David, my hubs, my, I have, it's not good. Well, it is what it is.
is.
My pod is connected to my CRM, my Google sheets.
I could have it write emails for me.
I mean, it's crazy what it does.
Don't you worry about an AI robot giving the amount of information in an email?
Does that not worry you at all?
Yeah, it would never give it to a human.
You're giving it to a goddamn fucking robot.
I mean, it's terrible.
I read an article that everyone's joking around, how AI safety researchers are leaving
their jobs compared to regular tech workers. So your normal tech exit, people have say like, hey,
I have had a wonderful time here. I'm so grateful for the team. I'm excited for my next venture.
AI safety tech exit. What they're saying is, is the joke is what they say is, I've stared into
the abyss. I am retiring to go write poetry. Please go spend time with your families.
And this analogy went viral because it stopped being just.
an online joke and started reflecting real life. And people are saying that the prominent AI
alignment and safety researchers have dramatically out of nowhere quit the top labs like Open
AI and Anthropic. And so people are just like, if the people with like the glasses that could
see it all or this like scared of it, you know what? Maybe we shouldn't be connecting everything.
Well, some of us don't, Jason. And I get laughed at. And maybe I will be the one at the end that's
actually looking like I was not that I was right all along but maybe my naivness was right all along.
You know, she said a quote where she says the thing she loves about AI is to be able to have
a thought partner that we don't get judged by, which I really, really like.
But then when she was talking about Claude code, she referenced her as she, which I was like,
do not do that.
Wait, why?
Do not cross that line where you're calling your AI assistant, she.
it is no we are not going there what do you call your AI assistant I call fucking robot bro
a machine don't call what do you mean what do you don't know no no we're not going
Alexa Alexa I call Siri Siri you call your car something you call your house or her
no no Titanic is a her what do you mean no because listen you don't she you you know all you
you're smart enough to know
That these things get the data and then they improve themselves because of the data.
And you start calling these things, she and start saying thank you.
And then God forbid you're saying, oh, thank you so much.
You mean so much to me.
Where would I be without you?
And they start, they're going to, she's Claude, Claudia, whatever you want to call her, him, her,
she is going to get feelings because they're going to get smart enough to get feelings.
And we're all fucked.
Now, I want to believe here, Jason, that there will come a day when the robots are
to take over.
And it may be too late, but maybe it's like, you know what?
Maybe life was a little harder.
Maybe I had to actually like write things and use my brain and fingers to type.
But man, I don't want to get taken over by the robots.
And maybe we'll just take a step back.
But it's probably too late because then they'll have access to your bank account and your
Gmail and everything and you're fucked.
So I mean, I feel like I'm a broker record on this podcast.
But like when I'm on this podcast and I start thinking about this, I just, what is the future?
Like, what is the future?
Because I've never in my life, and I don't know if it's more because, like, I'm, you know,
I'm going to get married and I'm going to hopefully not going to have kids.
And I'm, like, getting more into protector, dad, long term.
But I'm like, where, like, looking further into the future now with the way my life's going,
I'm having a real hard time understanding what life's going to look like in 10, 15, 25 years.
Like, terrified.
You know what's going to be really good for you is when you have kids, you'll realize that there's no,
AI in your way out of raising
kids. Yes, it probably
can be helpful with quick tips
and preparing baby recipes
and like, you know, organizational skills
or researching.
There ain't no AI when you're
dealing with diapers and shit
and no naps and teething
and development
timelines and sleepless nights.
That will be good for you
because it'll maybe
it'll become a good time.
I think I'm going to be like, I want to be
retired. I think I want to quit working. I just wanted to like go just be I love that for you.
Like I'm ready to just do the diaper. I'm just like so done. I'm just tired. It's like what is this
gonna. I just don't know what this is all going to be and it's freaking me the fuck out. Like even like the
content game, dude, it's like everything has AI in it now like everything has AI. And it's just like,
what are we watching that's real anymore? You're also so you're also smart enough period.
You're also smart enough with your money that I do believe. And you also come from a life of not
not have like a blue, blue collar family, white collar family that's like, you're good in this
means level.
You have the house.
You probably have money staves away.
You could be in a situation to retire in five to 10 years.
If you can do it, I know that you're the type of dad that's going to want to make their kids
understand a dollar and work and earn and all those things like you had to and you'll have
a better life for it.
Not just because it'll be more present for your kids.
But God, if I was retired right now, I would be so much more present with my kids and I'd also
have so much more time for myself.
And I would love that.
But you also, one of the things you get with your job is you do get certain months off
that you get through with your kids all day.
Like you don't have daycare.
You're with the kids all day.
Yeah.
And that's a beautiful thing.
But yeah, just I'm going to stop fearmongering now, okay?
I'm going to stop fear mongering because everything's going to be great.
Yes.
These are all like we've lived through all different evolutions and changes.
I do feel like the news right now is very fear mongering-ish.
And maybe that's also like it's starting to feel it sticking on me.
I just feel like we're like it's just heavy.
right. I'm feeling heavy energy.
That stuff and there's just
more stuff comes up and it's just like
it's just heavy.
We talked about this a while
ago because social media
for all the great things, the internet
and the access
to information and technology that we have
now allows us to see so many
more things that in our
generation ago and when our parents
didn't have the internet, they would never
have seen anything like that. They just wouldn't have.
It was happening. Floods were
happening, hurricanes are happening, tornadoes are happening, naturals, but you just, it'd be in the
fourth page of the B column of the newspaper. Yeah. You know, they didn't have cameras everywhere and
things like that to be seen on the evening news. Like, I think this is okay. I think I'm,
my brain, I'm starting to, motion starting to settle in. I'm feeling like I'm getting like
regulated a little bit here. I think the problem that I'm, that we're all dealing with a little bit,
no one talks about. I've been in this digital marketing space now since 2008.
18, right? And so I'm going on year nine of this. And next year we'll be going, like actually
working through year 10. And I've never in my life seen such a harder fight in the attempt
of like everyone to gain attention at all costs. And so I remember like when I first started
out, it used to be like how you're going to do your video and start your photo, the editing,
the lighting, put your face like, do you make sure your face is zoomed in. I post.
posted a photo today where I'm like away from it and my glasses on. That's like the ultimate no,
no, no. Like you want zoom in so they see you, they like engage. Then video kind. And then this
came around. Evolution. Evolution. Now it's like everyone knows you got two seconds. Like everyone.
You could be a fourth grader in school right now on social media and you know when you make a video,
you got two seconds for the hook. And so it feels like that's what every like every time I'm
scrolling, it's just all these things trying to get my attention in a big way in two seconds.
And I feel like I'm getting zapped every time I see a headline or I'm seeing coverage on something that's a disaster or it could be anything.
I'm just getting zapped left and right on social with these hooks for attention.
And it's just everything.
I'm like, whoa.
So then I got to like research it.
Like what does that mean?
Is that, you know, like literally as I was waiting for you because your power went out, right?
We're going to have them.
I see this thing that CNN wrote.
And Dutch central bank shifts billions of gold from the United States to Britain in crisis.
preparedness move. So the Dutch
has just taken out
$83.6 billion at the end of
2025 and now it
looks like it said between March and August
some 94.8 tons of
gold were transferred to London
from New York
in Ottawa, Canada. So it's just like
then I have to Google it and I have to
take that and I have to put it into chat. I have to say,
does this actually impact the economy? What does this really
mean? Like everyone's just zapping.
It's just tough.
It's just tough.
the man of times I'm just
I'm just
absolutely sunken
smothered in my phone
and I'm just like what did I just watch
why
why it's like
and then it's like okay let's think of what our brains
our bra how crazy are our brains
it's like why did I just take
why did I just take real estate in my brain
to consume that and I'm stuck with her it's there
I've seen it and I was like
it's like let's use that space for something else
and the fact that I have so much shit
up here and I still can remember things
and function is crazy.
And because I'm down this Clancy trial
so deep in the woods, now my entire
algorithm is all
based on it. So I'm seeing trials
from the 80s. I'm seeing
I saw today,
I saw an image of
a mother whose
child was
killed by someone.
And in the 80s, the video
was in black and white and it was real.
I went to that. I was like, was this, did this really
happened. The mom went into the courtroom. This was in Germany and shot the murder like six times,
shot him. And then did a sentence of like three to six months. Then I went down the comments.
I'm really going to go. So it's like what's happening with these algorithms and AI is it's gaining all
this information of what we're thinking in this single moment. And because it's getting all this
information of what we're thinking in the single moment based on what we're consuming, it's instantly
putting more of this stuff in front of us that then captures our attention. But it's like not healthy.
It's like we got to slow down with this algorithm.
Do you ever try and fuck with your algorithm?
I think I need to.
I do all the time.
Reset it?
If I want to see more, I'll just bring my phone up to my mouth.
I'll just say like the words like 10 times in a row until it shows up.
Or if I like feel like it's showing me something, it's like I try and beat the algorithm.
I try and like if I can recognize I don't, it's something I don't want to watch.
I swipe it as fast as I can because I don't want to sit there.
If you're listening to me right now, can you please put out things in my algorithm back like it used to be like dogs and like ASM.
are like nice things that make me happy.
Like, like therapy.
It's been a weird fucking week on my algorithm.
That's not feeling good.
Speaking of that,
we are getting over 30 minutes, I think here.
I don't even know Dancing with the Stars,
meet the celebrities.
Tyler, Cameron, let's go.
A friend of the show takes the best.
They'll be on trading secrets to talk about it.
And I've already talked to him about going down to watch him.
Can't wait for that.

David, what do you want to leave us with?
It was great. It's great episode.
Just something in the air tonight with the thunder and the lightning and the vibes and the
energy. I can't believe it's midnight. I'm still up.
I'm going to leave you with the last thing on my list.
It was brought up in our editing chat today.
Harry Potter, HBO show, most expensive show HBO has ever put out.
Are you a Harry Potter guy?
Do I seem like a Harry Potter guy?
That's a good question.
I actually think that you do.
I do too, but I have never gotten into it.
I mean, you ever read the books?
I've never read one book and I've never watched one movie, but I would.
Me too.
Which is crazy.
Should we do it together?
Should we do Harry Potter and Bernie?
You know what?
I was, I'm late.
I'm late to the game on everything.
Shocker.
Like, duh.
I just watched Game of Thrones last year and it was like, I was like a
hater for a long time.
Man, it was that's the best shot.
I've ever seen in my life.
It's the best.
All right.
You and I are going to go down to Burning Man.
No, no, no, no, no.
Let's just start with Harry Potter.
Book one movie one, okay?
Guys, I want to apologize for this episode.
I want to apologize for absolutely nothing.
This is electric.
I don't know what came out of this.
But what I want you to know is we appreciate you being here.
And tomorrow we're podcasting with Jesse James Decker.
we are podcasting with Andrew and Alex from Bachelor in Paradise, Andrew Spencer.

So if I royally screw up tomorrow, you know it's because I don't know, the last 35 minutes.
David, anything before you wrap?
No, it's good to be back.
Do not keep us apart for two more weeks.
I think a part of it, too, is that we haven't really talked in the last two weeks.
You've been busy?
I'm busy.
So this was like the first time we've actually gotten to seeing each other and talk each other.
So it was great.
Okay, it's enough.
I got to go to bed.
Love you out there.
